MMOPL Director Debashish Mohanty had yesterday said they would go ahead with the launch of the service today even if the Chief Minister does not come for the inauguration. MMOPL and the state government have been locked in a dispute over the fares for quite some time. The operator fixed a minimum fare of Rs 10 and a maximum of Rs 40 for a one way journey, going against the Maharashtra government's notified fare band of Rs 9-13, citing cost escalation in the three-phase project, work on which began eight years ago.
